'Football has missed Paul Pogba' - Juventus outcast compared to Neymar after doping ban reduction as ex-Man Utd team-mate suggests midfielder could make sensational Premier League return

<p>Pogba is currently preparing to make his comeback <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-paul-pogba-doping-ban-reduced-cas-confirm-four-year-suspension-juventus-ex-man-utd-midfielder-cut-18-months/bltde5a6a37cc2133af" target="_blank">after seeing his doping ban reduced to 18 months</a>, meaning the midfielder will be eligible to make his playing return in March 2025. However, it remains to be seen where he will restart his career. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-pogba-desperate-juventus-return-give-up-money/bltc79b34d8c81b08db#cs213e9dce229e4ea9" target="_blank">Pogba is eager to return with Juventus</a> but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-pogba-juventus-career-over-director-serie-a/bltb975ebf0fc8af969#csa88e815edb7d69da" target="_blank">director Cristiano Giuntoli has hinted there is no room for him in Turin</a>. A free transfer may therefore be in the offing for the  31-year-old next year.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The former Manchester United man has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-link-up-saudi-arabia-cristiano-ronaldo-invites-paul-pogba-al-nassr-juventus-career-all-but-over/blt1ad63bf2929f3bab" target="_blank">already been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia</a> to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, while former <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-paul-pogba-emirates-stadium-doping-ban-juventus-exit/blte8e68854e320c1ef#cs0d8591cfc042f849" target="_blank">Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has claimed he would love to see him play for Arsenal</a>. Pogba knows the Premier League well from two stints at Old Trafford, and former Manchester United team-mate Saha thinks English top-flight clubs would be interested in signing the Frenchman, and has compared his situation to that of Neymar in Saudi Arabia.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saha told <a href="https://insights.betfred.com/newsroom/louis-saha-xavi-could-be-an-exciting-appointment-for-manchester-united/" target="_blank">BetFred</a>: "Yes. I think he’s a top player and I’ve missed him a lot. I used to criticise him because he has so much talent and I used to get annoyed that he wasn’t using it all the time. Now I believe he realises that he’s been given an opportunity to showcase his talent, motivation and focus.&nbsp;I believe any player would want to play with him and any manager would love to have him, whether that’s a Premier League or Champions League team. Football, as an industry, has missed Paul Pogba. It’s similar to Neymar being out injured for a while. Those guys aren't the types of players that you see often, so we need to appreciate them. I’m sure Paul’s going to be motivated and everybody’s going to appreciate seeing him again when he returns to football in March. I can’t wait.”</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>Pogba's last appearance came for Juventus against Empoli in Serie A back in September 2023. He will be able to return to training in January but fans will have to wait to see where and when he makes his long-awaited return to action.</p><p></p>
